About this title

Review:

Completely Crazy Poems
No one can fail to dip into this book and come away without a cheeky smirk on their face. One to chase away the winter blues.
Funday Times

Ridiculous Rhymes
Fantastic stuff to introduce youngsters to poetry before they go all silly and wander like clouds.
Dorset Echo

A Century of Children’s Poems
It is a compelling mix of all genres and treatments, and readers are sure to be enriched whether they dip in and out of the book or progress through it in a structured way. Enticing and rewarding, this collection gives a real insight into the superb variety of poems on the 20th century. Bookseller
